Chapter 51: Can Chinese Play Football?
On January 17, Wu Jie's visa and passport were finally processed, and the speed was very fast.
After that, there is no problem, and the main source of problems for non-European players to play in the big four leagues in this era is actually the player's home team and the Football Association.
Maradona is an example, Barcelona wanted to buy the Argentine talent three years ago, but the "Argentine Youth Club" felt that the transfer fee was too small and refused to let him go; Two years later, Barcelona gave the club enough money, and this time it was the turn of the Argentine Football Association not to let go, and Barcelona wanted Maradona to satisfy the Argentine Football Association.
Although the Chinese Football Association is also inferior to pigs and dogs, many people don't know that most of the time, the Chinese Football Association is a little stronger than the Argentine Football Association, including the Brazilian Football Association, which is also fully capable of competing with the Chinese Football Association for the penultimate position.
Wu Jie's transfer was not blocked by the Football Association and the Sports Department, and Bayern could easily help him complete a series of transfer processes in Germany.
A week later, just a few days before the Bundesliga winter transfer window was about to close, FC Bayern's press service released a message to the German press that they had successfully brought in talented striker Jie· Wu。
Soon, a spokesperson for FC Bayern also made the announcement official to the media and fans.
At this time, Wu Jie had just gotten on the plane to West Germany, and the media in West Germany had already begun to report the news that the Chinese national team members had joined the Bundesliga giants.
So may I ask whether West Germany is anti-rabbit or not?
Needless to ask, is there any country in the whole of Europe that is not against it?
Before Wu Jie set foot on German soil, the West German media reported the news with various eye-catching headlines.
- "Bayern Munich should buy a panda!" 》
This is the headline of the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", and the tone of the argument can be basically seen from these words.
They don't report much, but it's all interrogative.
Do Chinese play football?
What is the level of this Chinese?
Does he speak German or English?
Why didn't Bayern buy a panda from China and come back?
The panda can at least be a mascot, will this Chinese be a mascot?
- Commodity or Genius? 》
This is the headline published by "Kicker", who believes that Wu Jie is a "commodity" for Bayern's expansion into Asia, because the Chinese team has never become a global player, and Wu Jie has never shown his talent in the world competition.
Asian-level competitions aren't enough to prove anything, but if Bayern are just trying to get their ticket to Asia, it might be good business.
Now everyone knows that Uli Hoeness, who retired due to injury, is very good at making money, and this may be another operation for him to improve Bayern's financial situation.
- "Chinese Football? Chinese genius? 》
The Süddeutsche Zeitung, a local newspaper in Munich, reported on a much more conciliatory note, at least knowing that the Chinese team had just won the Asian title, beating South Korea led by Bundesliga star Cha Fangen.
Wu Jie scored 18 goals in the Asian Cup, won the Golden Boot and was awarded the best player in the report.
This gave Bayern fans a preliminary understanding of Wu Jie, and of course they knew who Che Fangen was, who was the top 20 stars in the Bundesliga.
If this Chinese talent is more powerful than Che Fangen, it is worth bringing in the team.
But what makes the Süddeutsche Zeitung and Bayern fans wonder is: is he really such a genius? How much did Bayern spend on this genius again?
Whether it is disparagement, sarcasm, or slightly more objective reporting, these West German media are basically not optimistic about the Chinese players, and Bayern fans do not think that this deal will help the team.
Unless the team just wants to buy a Chinese talent and put it in the reserve team to develop, and then use this product to develop the Asian market, then they will not have any opinion.
But soon the media revealed a news that made Bayern fans care again: it is said that the transfer fee of this Chinese exceeds one million marks?
"What, a million marks? This should be fake news, right? ”
"Fake news, of course, how could the board agree to such a stupid deal."
"A million marks is enough to buy a car Van Gen, but we don't need players of this level."
"Do you know what position this Chinese plays?"
"Looking at the reports that he is the Golden Boot of the Asian Cup, then he should be a striker."
"If he is a striker, then the news must be fake, so we will not spend another million marks to buy a 17-year-old Chinese striker with Rummenigge and Hoeness."
These West German media and Bayern fans, who were discussing Wu Jie, did not know that the person concerned had finally arrived in Munich on a plane for dozens of hours.
On January 26, local time, Wu Jie finally arrived in Munich.
He was accompanied by Bayern's assistant coach Kramer, transfer director Steffen, and a German-speaking Chinese translator, as well as two Football Association and Sports Department officials who accompanied him to Germany.
The two officials came to confirm the completion of the transfer, and also to confirm whether Wu Jie would encounter life or even political trouble.
China and the United States are in a honeymoon period, and there are more contacts with Europe.
But the arrogance of the West as a whole has not diminished, and their discrimination against Chinese has become more accessible to Chinese as the two sides have interacted.
This is easy to understand, originally everyone did not have much contact, and there is a possibility that the distance produces beauty.
Now that there are more contacts, the favorability has not increased, but the disgust has increased a lot.
The two officials will not leave until Wu Jie officially joins the team and confirms that the transfer fee has been received.
As for Wu Jie's salary, this will be supervised by the embassy.
The male translator was hired by the university as a graduating German student, whose salary would be reimbursed by Bayern.
Wu Jie doesn't speak German, and he has been pretending that he doesn't know English, so Bayern naturally wants to give him a German translator.
In fact, his English skills were sufficient for everyday communication, and his English skills in West Germany were much stronger than in East Germany, and half of West Germans were able to communicate in English in a simple way.
Most of the Bayern players also speak some English, and Wu Jie can barely cope in West Germany as long as he knows English.
But he can't show these things, because it's been less than a year since he took away this body, and even if he can even speak English, it's really easy to arouse suspicion.
Now his communication with Kramer and Stephen is through this college student named Liu Baoping as a transit.
"Wu, the winter transfer period is coming to an end, we will do a medical examination for you tomorrow, and then help you register for the league and the Champions League, then you can be part of the great Bayern!"
"It's amazing, I can't wait to join this great team, I can't wait to play!"
Wu Jie's response is very in line with the mentality of young people, and he looks like he is also eager to try.
Kramer secretly shook his head in his heart, although they had promised to give Wu Jie a full chance to play.
But that is a strategy to fool him first, Bayern must first confirm that Wu Jie can adapt to the Bundesliga game, otherwise how can he play immediately.
At least look at Wu Jie's physical test before deciding how to arrange him.
It's a big departure from what was promised, but they're Bayern all over Europe!
Such a team is willing to cultivate him, which is already very sincere.
The next day, Wu Jie's transfer information was disclosed by more West German media, and it was basically confirmed that the transfer fee would definitely exceed one million marks, and it may even reach two million marks.
This made Bayern fans even more uneasy, they could not accept the team to pay a million marks for a 17-year-old Chinese player.
If the transfer fee does reach two million marks, it will be a bad news.
"Hell, we already have Rummenigge and Hoeness, why would Hoffman spend so much money on a Chinese?"
"Does this Chinese know how to play? Are there any sports stars in China? Where the hell is this damn country? ”
"They don't seem to have participated in the Olympics, and I haven't seen Chinese athletes from the Olympics."
"China should be in Asia! Who has a world map? ”
"Wait, where's Asia?"
"Bastard, don't care where the damn Asia and China are, we shouldn't sign foreign aid at all, the great Bayern should all be German!"
"Well said, we don't need foreign aid, Stalin scum!"
“……”
With the media reports, Bayern fans are becoming more and more dissatisfied with the team's introduction of a Chinese player.
They don't think that the great Bayern has a place for the Chinese, even if they really want to buy foreign aid, it must be the king of the European transfer market!
But now that the team has bought a Chinese player and spent so much money, has their board of directors been kidnapped en masse? Could it be a burger?
These Bayern fans are clearly very proud of their team, because they achieved the feat of the Champions League dynasty (three times in a row) in the seventies, and only Real Madrid in the fifties have ever achieved such a feat in history.
The team has such a glorious history, naturally not buying a Chinese striker, even if some Munich media have reported his performance in Asia, but it still can't make the proud German fans, proud Bayern fans buy it.
But at this time, the benefits of the Bundesliga can be seen, because even the Bundesliga, which has already had two Asian players successfully landed, is still very discriminatory against Asian players, especially Chinese players, from fans to the media.
What if he landed in Britain, which is even more discriminatory against the Chinese?
It is estimated that it was sprayed by the British media and fans a week ago!
At this time, the camera moved to our Wu Dashao, of course, he knew from the media about the opposition of Bayern fans to him, as well as the cynicism of the German media against him.
But these will not worry him in the slightest, because this is due to full confidence in his own strength.
Besides, he's no longer a four-star athletic talent......
